 From an operations stance, when I'm trying to diagnose an issue, and I see
 from top that a process is in some state that I don't recognize or
 understand, I want to know what it means. I naturally go to the man page for
 top to find out. If it's not directly in there then I want a pointer of
 where I should look next. So, to clarify my prior email, it'd be nice if the
 man page listed some of the more common states and what they mean and then
 provided a pointer to the canonical documentation.
